According to a report by Yonhap on Friday, citing the South Korean army, North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile in the direction of the ocean.
This follows Pyongyang’s Wednesday testing of two-range cruise missiles under the supervision of the country’s leader Kim Jong Un, according to official media.
Pyongyang described her recent missile tests as tactical nuclear exercises that mimic control of airports and military facilities in South Korea.
On Thursday, Yonhap said that roughly 12 North Korean jets were flying close to the South Korean border, forcing Seoul to send fighters. This was about two hours before to monitoring the launch of the missile.
This occurred when military tensions on the peninsula were rising due to Pyongyang’s use of a number of weapons systems. It is the second time in a week that North Korean aeroplanes have been flown.
The Yonhap Agency quoted the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea that 10 fighters were monitored while flying at a distance of 25 km north of the border between the two Koreas, between 10:30 pm on Thursday and 0. 20 after midnight on Friday local time, bypassing the line that does it automatically in response to the South.
According to Yonhap, which cited the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Seoul sent military aircraft, including the fighter F-35A.
North Korea, on the other hand, said Friday (local time) that Seoul was carrying out “provocative work” close to their shared borders and claimed that the South Korean army “raises a military tension.”
According to a statement made by a representative of the North Korean army, the South Korean army on Thursday “fired artillery fire for about ten hours near the advanced defence area of the Fifth Corps of the Korean People’s Army,” adding that the Korean People’s Army “carried out strong counter-military measures” In response to “provocative work.”
The Popular Korean Army is “directing a strict warning to the South Korean army,” according to the agency’s report, “raising a military tension in the confrontation area area.”
North Korea fires a ballistic missile in a designated direction.
